Using a Berry's Double Plated 124 gr. Round Nose bullet .. I made a tool to flat-nose them.

Loaded them over 5.8 gr. Unique and Small Pistol Primer

I fire an UNMODIFIED one into a bucket of sand.

It did not lose any weight .. penetrated about a foot into the sand.

Then I fired a MODIFIED one into the sand.

It did not lose any weight either.

So I decided to flat-nose the 125 gr. Bear Creek Supply bullet and shoot it into the sand.

An UNMODIFIED bullet was fired into the sand.

Then a MODIFIED bullet was fired.

The Bear Creek bullets did not lose any weight either.

This test does not have anything to do with how the bullets would perform in flesh. But if you are gonna shoot some sand, I have good data!
